This volume recounts roughly two centuries of "lost" British history and simultaneously provides crucial evidence that the early records for this period are anything but "fake news." The book demonstrates that the discrepancies in the dates claimed by many scholars are illusory. Every early source originally recorded the same events in the same year. It is only the transition to Anno Domini dating centuries later that distorts our perception. Equally important, the book reveals that King Arthur and Uther Pendragon are the antithesis of medieval fantasy. Recent scholarly doubts arose from the fact that different regions of Britain had vastly different recollections of post-Roman British rulers.
